Glossary Details

mullite

   3Al2O3×2SiO2—calcined Kyanite, but is also found naturally. Very desirable interlocking needlelike aluminum silicate crystals form above 1800° F and greatly add to the strength of high-fired vitrified claybodies and glazes. In well-formulated high-fired wares, clay-glaze interface is extremely strong partially due to interlocking mullite crystals.
